On the easel today.


Experimenting.  Using oil paint on canvas with a beeswax medium.  I really like the way it paints, and the matte surface when it dries.  My only concerns are how "tough" it will be to scratches, etc.  Also are there any compatibility issues, like cross contamination into non-wax paintings if I use the same brushes or solvents. Or can it be varnished like a traditional oil painting.
Like I said, I love the look and the way it handles on the brush. Just frustrated that there is so little product information available. I have looked.
Note to manufacturers:  Make some of this info available. You might SELL MORE of the medium.
